New collaboration between Druid Street Market and Chefs of Tomorrow is a surefire way to brighten up a gloomy November weekend.

Chefs of Tomorrow is the pet project of chef Dan Doherty, who wanted to find a way of showcasing upcoming culinary stars: this is exactly the experience new pop up at Druid Street Market aims to provide, every Saturday throughout November.

The pop up will begin with Julien Pickersgil who hails from Picture Restaurant, where the focus is on small dishes inspired by seasonal produce. Cooking alongside him is Lorent Baratki from Soho establishment L'Escargot – known for its French fine dining classics and private members club feel.

Other highlights throughout the month include Blair Hammond, from Silo in Brighton (also showcasing another chef, Dan Gibeon in December) – a sustainable restaurant which mills its own flour, brews its own booze and recycles all food waste. Finally comes John Chantarasak from the Som Saa Thai pop up turned permanent restaurant, just relocated from its home in Climpson's Arch to bustling East London.

Lastly, if you're craving summer florals making an appearance on the 21 November is Alex Dome from Petersham Nurseries, whose specialty seasonal dishes come dotted with edible flower flourishes: a perfect way to see off the autumn as we settle in for a cosy winter spell.

40 Maltby Street

We can’t recommend 40 Maltby Street enough.Tucked under the railway arches prepare for a rough, shabby-chic décor - you may find yourself eating atop a pile of crates for example- but it all contributes to the atmosphere. This is essentially a wine business with a restaurant attached, which not only excuses the crates but also means that it offers truly incredible wines to drink in (or take away) without a large mark-up. The outstanding seasonal menu also makes the industrial interior more than palatable. We loved the (perfectly cooked) deep-fried duck egg but the menu changes daily so prepare for a pleasant surprise.

This authentic wine bar is our Bermondsey gem. Despite the bar's popularity and constant buzz, it still manages to retain a sense of intimacy. You might have to wait for a table, but it's certainly worth the wait: from friendly waiters giving advice to novice or seasoned sherry drinkers to the best patatas bravas we've ever tried, this is our perfect spot for a candle-lit catch up or post exhibition wind down. An absolute must.
